Informix Syntax to join 2 fields

[gkrenton]

Yes I'm back again. In access the way to combine 2 fields
is
[field name] & "whatever I'm adding the the field"

I'm stumped as to the syntax for Informix though -
&?, |?
Here is the beginning of my code
insert into attributename (Product_ID, Attribute_ID, Name, OrderBy, OSDOrder, IsRequired)

Select Distinct inv_id3,
inv_id3 & "01" as At1,
1 as OrderBy,
1 as OSDOrder,
1 as IsRequired

But that doesn't seem to be doing what I want/expect.

As always thanks for you're assistance.

Replace this:
inv_id3 & "01"
By this:
inv_id3 || "01"

Hope This Helps, PH.
